It's nice to know that we aren't the only species on this planet who get ourselves in the shit from time to time. I watched this guy carrying his dead mate, flying like a Chinook with one rotor missing. He wasn't doing too bad until he decided to try for a landing....
We call them "native bees" but whether they are or not I do not know. They are small, and they like to hover about the flowers when they are open. To give you some idea of the size, a coriander flower is only about 10 to 13 mm across.
For the photogaphically interested, all my pictures are taken with a Fuji Fine Pix S602Z. These were taken using close up macro mode.
